hi stephen

what evidence do you have that it's ben collins? I'm new to this, so i don't know how to cite my evidence.

hi stephen still getting the hang of this. why do you think it's ben collins? and yes i do have evidence it's not. just tricky working this site out

"Yes, you have evidence" - well, what is it? Please make your case on the article's discussion page! (i.e. actually provide your evidence) The article has listed it as Ben Collins for some time, and there is evidence elsewhere (e.g. This link. Use the Sandbox to learn more about editing - thanks!

I've just posted it i think on the discussion page,

Damon Hill stood in as a last minute replacement when Davina McCall cancelled on the day of the show. Why was he there? He's at Dunsfold most Wednesdays as he is the stig.

When Damon can't do it they use Colin McRae.

The ben collins thing is a joke - a red herring - it originated after he filmed something with Top Gear and people in the motoring industry spread the rumour as a joke.

IMDB - yes. anyone can put stuff on there.

Is that the only evidence you have - ?

Stephen - you seem to have no evidence whatsoever to back up your claim.


 * Thanks for (finally) making your case - neither of us has any actual evidence we can point to conclusively, it seems; hence I will let your edits stand and let others with more knowledge than I argue it if they wish. The point of reverting your edits was because they looked like vandalism/wish fullfillment - you didn't enter any edit summary and simply made the changed without proof - I refer you to Cite sources.
